Quantum vmPRO Requirements

Quantum vmPRO User’s Guide 6

DHCPConfiguration

Although the vmPRO appliance automatically acquires a network address in environments with dynamic

host configuration protocol (DHCP), we recommend configuring a static IP address during configuration.

See Configuring Network Settings for a vmPRO Appliance.

ActiveDirectoryIntegration

On Windows backup servers, you can integrate the vmPRO appliance with an Active Directory (AD)

domain to use any authenticated user ID for CIFS backups. When there is not an AD integration, you

must use a local user ID with the same user context as the vmPRO admin user

for CIFS backups. See

Configuring a CIFS Protocol for a vmPRO Appliance.

MultipleESXorESXiServerConfiguration

In environments with multiple ESX or ESXi servers and VMs, you can deploy multiple vmPRO

appliances on more than one ESX or ESXi server to increase overall performance and throughput. See

Configuring ESX Servers for a vmPRO Appliance.

VSANConfiguration

In environments using VMware's Virtual SAN (VSAN) configuration, you must set up your

vmPRO appliance to manage the configuration through a vCenter serverrather than as opposed to

managing individual ESX servers. VSAN is a cluster-wide resource that exists as datastores on a cluster

of ESX servers. The vmPRO appliance manages VSAN through a vCenter server, which in turn

manages the ESX servers housing the VSAN datastores.

Caution:Do not clone a vmPRO appliance. Cloned appliances are not supported.

Quantum vmPRO Requirements

Before installing your vmPRO appliance, make sure that your environment meets or exceeds the following

system requirements.

Both the default user name and password are "sysadmin". The vmPRO administrator can change these

credentials, as needed.
